Shoofly Pie V Recipes

Steps:

• On a floured surface, roll dough to fit a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate. Trim and flute edge. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes., Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425°. For filling, mix brown sugar, molasses, egg, flour and baking soda. Gradually stir in boiling water; cool completely., Line unpricked crust with a double thickness of foil. Fill with pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice. Bake on a lower oven rack 15 minutes. Remove foil and pie weights; brush crust with egg yolk. Bake 5 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Reduce oven setting to 350°., In another bowl, whisk together first four topping ingredients. Cut in butter until crumbly. Add filling to crust; sprinkle with topping. Cover edge of pie with foil., Bake until filling is set and golden brown, 45-50 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Store in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Place pie crusts in 9 inch pie pans. Chill the crusts approximately 1 hour before use.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, stir together the baking soda and warm water. Mix in the molasses and stir until foamy. Transfer the mixture to the pie crusts.
• In a medium bowl, mix together flour, sugar and baking soda. Use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour mixture until very fine crumbs have formed. Sprinkle the crumbs over the molasses mixture in the pie crusts.
• Bake in the preheated oven 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and continue baking 35 minutes, or until crust is lightly browned and the filling has set.

Steps:

• For the crumb topping: Combine the flour, sugar and butter in a bowl. Work the ingredients with your fingers just until the butter is well distributed and resembles a coarse crumb mixture. You can also do this in a food processor. Be careful not to over mix!
• For the filling: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place a baking sheet in the oven to preheat as well; this will catch molasses drips as the pie bakes. Combine the molasses, baking soda and egg in a stainless steel mixing bowl. Whisk until the mixture lightens in color and turns slightly foamy. Add 1 cup hot water and whisk to combine.
• In the par-baked pie shell, put approximately half of the crumb mixture on the bottom. Measure out 13 ounces of the wet molasses mixture and carefully pour into the crust (you may have extra wet mixture leftover, which is ok). Put the remaining crumb mixture on the top.
• Place the pie on the preheated baking sheet in the oven. Bake 10 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F and bake until the filling doesn't collapse when pressed lightly with your finger, and it is just starting to pull away from crust, 30 to 35 minutes. Do not overbake!
• Let cool until set. Serve warm with ice cream or freshly whipped cream!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, dissolve the soda in the molasses and stir until it foams. Sir in the boiling water and pinch of salt. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cinnamon, brown sugar and butter into crumbs.
• Pour 1/3 of the molasses mixture into the unbaked crust. Sprinkle 1/3 of the crumbs over the molasses mixture and continue alternating layers, finishing with the crumbs on top.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the crumbs and crust are golden.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees.
• Make the crumb topping: Mix flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt together in a bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter until the consistency resembles cornmeal.
• Combine molasses, water and baking soda and pour into pastry shell. Spoon the crumb mixture evenly over the top. Bake 15 minutes, lower the heat to 350 degrees and bake 20 minutes longer, or until set and firm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Mix flour, brown sugar and shortening into crumbs with fingers, fork or pastry blender. Reserve 1/2 cup of crumbs for the top of the pie. To remaining crumbs, blend in the molasses, egg, and 3/4 cup hot water. Mix the baking soda with remaining 1/4 cup hot water and promptly add to mixture. Pour into unbaked pie shell and bake for 15 minutes. Top the pie with the reserved crumbs and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F. and bake for an additional 40 minutes.
• The pie can be served at room temperature or chilled.
• In a large bowl, mix together flour and salt. Cut in shortening until well incorporated. Add remaining ingredients and mix until well blended. Let rest a few minutes, then divide dough into 4 portions. Roll a dough disc out on a lightly floured surface and press into a 9-inch pie plate. Individually tightly cover and freeze remaining 3 portions of dough.
